iCommunicate.
I love the ease of customization and navigation for staff to use, and for students to access. This app is great for the most challenged student. I use iCommunicate to create learning boards, incidental communication, and general communication. I like using icommunicate for actual pictures as opposed to symbols.

Proloquo2Go – Symbol-based AAC
Though I wish it cost less, the amount of boards that are on there are mind-boggling. It’s literally a ready to go AAC device. I would love to see ease of use with those that are more technophobic in regard to programming and editing the app. However, the app works really well for students who favor symbollic pictures over photos-although the ability to load photos is on here.
Answers:YesNo HD
Fabulous app for creating choice boards for “first/then”. Though it doesn’t have pictures, the colors and auditory feedback resonate well for even the most significantly challenged student.
Verbally
You cannot go wrong with a free app. This app is great for students that can read but need a voice. I wish this was around when my friend who had ALS was alive.
